      Thanks. It is my Fiesta and it was a first for me, towing something. Given some comments on using the clutch, in hindsight, I should have handled the clutch better and pulling a much heavier vehicle probably wasn't the best idea. Fiesta's fine though.

      @@fatladleem7 I thought we were about to witness another crash here between the Volvo and the 7 seater. A Clio was pulled out by a Disco not long ago and the driver failed to disengage the steering lock/turn on the ignition 1 click and the Disco driver didn't check how they were following and the Clio got pulled straight into the front of another parked Disco with a big steel brush bumper, so the Clio didn't fair well. I don't know how insurance deals with that given the Clio wasn't under its own power, does it get treated like a trailer and therefore responsibility falls on the tow vehicle as much as the one steering the tow-ee vehicle? That was a close escape for you in that case.

    Advice from the AA
    Floods and standing water
    Try to avoid standing water if you can.
    Don't drive into flood water that’s moving or more than 10cm (4 inches) deep.Let approaching cars pass first.
    Drive slowly and steadily so you don’t make a bow wave.
    Test your brakes as soon as you can afterwards.
    Fast-moving water is very powerful - take care or your car could be swept away.
    If you do get stuck in flood water, it's usually best to wait in the car and call for help rather than try to get out.

    • @davidrobert2007
      @davidrobert2007 Před rokem +7

      What happens is - the engine sucks in water and tries to compress it, water will not compress and so the metal rods that connect the pistons to the crankshaft will bend. Being bent, the rods are a tiny bit shorter than before, and because of this the bottoms of the pistons can make contact with the spinning crankshaft below, and that is the cause of the screeching noise you can hear. I hope that explains it 👍

      Better yet, spend 15 minutes and drive round the other way .. if you really need to cross this road to nowhere at all.

    Recovery companies should make there a permanent resting spot to avoid being called out they can just instantly hook up and tow a way 😂

    not only do these muppets ruin their cars, they make sure to breakdown and stop right in the middle of the road. Well done!

    is there any way to avoid getting water in the interior 100 percent, I think the door rubber pads are doing their job but water is getting in through the bottom (carpet), And wow RMS your Fiesta did a great at towing a VW, though this shouldn't be done again unless necessary.
